The trio and their army of recruits went overboard with their spin of falsehood over the status of the 13 per cent derivation arrears. Wike, the emperor of Rivers state, whom his constituents have accused of running the state like his fiefdom, set the ball rolling when he declared that all the money he’s using to build flyovers was from the accumulated 13 per cent derivation which the previous governments refused to pay but was paid by the Muhammadu Buhari government.
Wike tendered the apology to Oshiomhole at the inauguration of the Rumuepirikom Flyover in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the state which the ex-APC chairman commissioned.
The list was made available by the Secretary of the APC-PCC, Representative James Faleke, on Friday in Abuja
“I think the issues before us and which we have to spend time discussing is what will any of the presidential candidates do differently to expect a different outcome, not what will a Christian or Muslim do,” Oshiomhole told a crew of Arise TV journalists on Wednesday.
The former two-term Governor of Edo State said this in reaction to a statement when he appeared on Arise TV.
Oshiomhole scored 309 votes to pick the APC ticket while his opponent, incumbent Sen. Francis Alimikhena, polled five votes at the party primary election held in Auchi, Edo, on Saturday.
He declared his intention to seek the Edo North Senatorial District seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Oshiomhole made the declaration at an enlarged APC meeting held in his country home in Iyamoh on Monday.
The President congratulated the former Chairman of the APC on another milestone, saluting his salutary contributions to development of democracy and good governance.
Wike, who rubbished Obaseki’s diatribe against him, said Edo Governor’s former godfather and former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, had been vindicated.
Prof. Osinbajo stated this in Abuja on Monday evening at the public presentation of a book titled ‘Politics that Works – What Schools and Seminars won’t Teach You about Winning Elections’, co-authored by Sen. Babafemi Ojudu and Mr. Alex James.

Afegbua was an aide to a former governor of Edo State and ex-National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole.
The Commission was dissolved in 2008 by the administration of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.
Why are we in trouble? Obaseki adduced a reason that it is because the country is enmeshed deeply in a financial quagmire. According to him, Nigeria’s oil marketers should not celebrate the increase in the price of crude oil, especially in the international market, for the expected benefits could be illusional. He noted that major oil companies in Nigeria such as Shell and Chevron are no longer investing in oil exploration.
The retraction was published in a number of national newspapers on Thursday 18th March, 2021.
A source close to the former APC chairman said Oshiomhole arrived Kalu’s residence at exactly 7pm and was received by the former two-term Governor of Abia State.
